The first one was absolutely rediculous. One of the DUMBEST flicks I have ever seen in my life, and I am an AVID horror-flick buff!
And for those of you too dumb to know, it is BASED on a true story. "BASED" has a VERY broad meaning when attached to a Holywood Movie. The only thing remotely "true" about the story is the part about the guy wearing peoples skin. NO TEXAS Chainsaw family people! THEY NEVER EXISTED!!! In fact the chainsaw is just Hollywood fodder. The true part of the skin-wearing comes from the case of the Plainfield, Wisconsin Serial Killer named Edward Gein. He shot & killed like 5 or 6 people, and made masks of their skin, lamps, and stews as well. All that after hanging and dressing them like freshly-killed Deer.
Portions of his crimes were also used as inspiration for the movie "PSYCHO". That's right, the original Psycho by Hitchcock. Gein used to talk in his mothers voice while wearing peoples skin as masks and howling at the moon. So basicly, they COULD have made the same "based on a true story" boast for that movie as well.
The Buffalo Bill charachter in Silence of the Lambs is also based on Gein and his crimes. Dont believe me? Think the Texas Chainsaw thing is true(I know some of you do, cause I've seen the shit posted here before)...Do a yahoo search on ED GEIN, and see who knows their serial killer/horror-flick shit! Peace.

I liked the second one. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.
That one was way better than the first.

O, and that creepy voice you hear in the trailer to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The narrarator I mean. John Larroquette. Dan Fielding from Night Court.

With a cliffhanger obviously
I thought the first one was very scary. Especially since I was a teenager and saw it in a movie theater with girls that screamed bloody murder. I think the scariest part was the dude that walked up the ramp and got whacked with the hammer and went into convulsions on the ground. And when he hung the girl on the meat hook alive.

somebody needs to make a movie about gein.
and i just remember how disturbing the first chainsaw massacre was.

But Ed Gein only killed one person that we know of, so by today's slasher standards that would be a pretty boring horror film. That would be a good idea though but the lack of body counts means it would have to be more of a psychological thriller sort of thing.

anya said:
Two actually. There were bodyparts from numerous different women found in his house. I suppose back in 1957, it was probably best that they got their man and to let sleeping dogs lie, rather than try to figure out wether or not he killed them, or got the bodyparts from one of his many grave robbing stints. But even so, you're right. His bodycount isn't high. especially compared with the likes of Gacy, Bundy, etc. I think it is the absolute WIERDNESS of Gein that is his legacy.

i saw the first one in kindergarten...at a birthday sleepover.
what kind of f*cked up parent shows the texas chainsaw massacre to a bunch of little girls?
i didn't sleep the whole night and couldn't find the courage to watch it again until a couple years ago. of course now, i think it's most entertaining.

When I think of TCM - I remember the dude in the wheelchair and rooting for him to get killed.
And the scene that freaked me out was when he opened the big freezer and the girl popped up screaming.... he coolly just slammed the lid back down on her head to knock her out again.

Here are some cool pics dealing with the Gein case. The corpse photo, is how they found his second victim. Tell me Gein had ANY clue as to the difference between human life, and that of your average forest buck. I thinks naught.

fish was a dirty old man who killed children, sometimes raped their dead bodies, and ate them. he convinced one family to let him take their little girl to a party....he took her to a cabin, got naked and butchered her and then ate her. then he wrote a letter to her parents telling them about it.
nice guy.

I just got back from seeing it. It was bad ass...really fucking scary. Go see it. Jessica Biel is hot hot hot.

Yeah it's a remake. As far as I know they didn't deviate much from the original movie. They really nailed the "holy shit this is fucked up" element throughout the movie like in Blair Witch Project.
